The dominant formation mechanism of brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects (PMOs) in
star-forming regions is presently uncertain. Do they form like stars, via the collapse and …

The presence of short-lived radioisotopes (SLRs) 26Al and 60Fe in the Solar system places
constraints on the initial conditions of our planetary system. Most theories posit that the …

We investigate whether spatial-kinematic substructure in young star-forming regions can be
quantified using Moran's I statistic. Its presence in young star clusters would provide an …

Observations of star-forming regions provide snapshots in time of the star formation process,
and can be compared with simulation data to constrain the initial conditions of star formation …

The stellar mass distribution in star-forming regions, stellar clusters and associations, the
Initial Mass Function (IMF), appears to be invariant across different star-forming …

The earliest evolution of star clusters involves a phase of co-existence of both newly formed
stars, and the gas from which they are forming. Observations of the gas in such regions …

Recent studies have identified star clusters with multiple components based on accurate
spatial distributions and/or proper motions from Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3), utilizing diverse …

The spatial–kinematic structure of 48 young star clusters and associations is investigated.
Moran's I statistic is used to quantify the degree of kinematic substructure in each region …

Context. Star formation is a complex process involving several physical mechanisms that
interact with each other at different spatial scales. One way to shed some light on this …

Understanding the formation and evolution of high-mass star clusters requires comparisons
between theoretical and observational data to be made. Unfortunately, while the full phase …
